Cal-Brite is a low-pH or acid-based product developed for cleaning evaporator coils, air-cooled condensers, and other finned cooling and heating coils. It is based upon glycolic acid and ammonium bifluoride. In addition it incorporates two surfactants, including DuPont's Merpol. The activity between the glycolic acid and the ammonium bifluoride produces a synergestic cleaning effect, resulting in a clean, brightened coil, but with the utmost in safety to the applicator and job site.

If air-cooled condensers, evaporator coils, and other finned cooling and heating coils become coated and clogged with greasy dirt and grime they will eventually cause the coil to lose efficiency and drive up operating costs. Therefore, Cal-Brite provides the technological solution with its acidic based formulation which achieves foaming, brightening, and cleaning, but without the high dangers and concentrations of hydrofluoric acid. Because of its low odor and increased safety, Cal-Brite can be used on indoor coils.
